THE Annual Fund
2016 - 2017

It takes more than money to make a school great. It takes highly committed, highly skilled teachers. An administration with a proven track record of problem solving. And it takes an engaged and caring community.

Without your support, essential parts of what make Burley school so amazing would go unstaffed and unsupported in the future.  Friends of Burley is being asked to fund a technology position, part of a reading specialist, and part of the sports program.  FOB is also being asked to again support the Merit School of Music program which provides an award-winning music education for every child in every grade, and to purchase iPads to further the 1:1 technology vision for every classroom.

In order to make our goals for this year, we are asking each family to please consider giving  $700 per child. There is no charitable donation for which your money works harder or more directly impacts your children. Any amount is welcome and whether you give $70 or $7,000, your donation makes a difference.
